TSB's

This TSB refers to 2008 Subaru Impreza models. If the ignition key is held between the ON and START position for more than three seconds, there is the possibility that P0335 can be stored in memory (crankshaft position sensor A circuit). This is caused by an erroneous signal being sent to the ECM. Under normal operation of the ignition switch, this will not occur.

The P0335 will be cleared from memory after four times of normal engine starting.
